"Will take the throne" Prince William prepared for King Charles to QUIT as Andrew police probe grows

Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]I can reveal today that sources close to Prince William think there is at least now some sort of possibility that he could have to take the throne while his father remains alive. The chances of a terminally ill and cancer-stricken King Charles being forced to abdicate over the allegedly criminal actions of his brother ex Prince Andrew have just significantly increased today. But the royal wrote and the mainstream media will not discuss the reality of this growing major crisis for the British royal family, potentially an existential crisis for King Charles II. Because I can reveal today that sources close to Prince William think there is at least now some sort of possibility that he could have to take the throne while his father remains alive given the growing disaster around the criminal probe into the now disgraced Andrew Mountbatton Windsor. At 6:00 a.m. this morning, the king's worst nightmare came true as police investigating misconduct claims against the former juke in connection to Jeffrey Epstein. Those claims saw him arrested at Sandreum in February, remember, announced that the extent of their probe was being dramatically extended. It will now also include sex crimes and they made an unprecedented call for survivors and victims to come forward. Here's how the MSM announced the news.

[00:01:28]>> So, we start with breaking news.

[00:01:30]Detectives investigating Andrew Mountbatton Windsor say they're examining a number of aspects of alleged misconduct in public office. The offense can potentially include sexual misconduct, abuse of position, and corruption.

[00:01:46]>> Temp's Valley Police is understood to be assessing some specific reports that a woman was allegedly taken to an address in Windsor in 2010. And these are LBC understands that detectives are investigating Andrew Mountbatten Windsor for possible sex offenses. A woman has claimed convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein sent her to Andrew's premises at the Royal Lodge in Windsor in 2010.

[00:02:16]Detectives are waiting to interview a woman in the United States who claims she was taken to Andrew Mountbatton Windsor's former home for sexual purposes in 2010. Within minutes, the Sun's well-connected crime editor, Mike Sullivan, revealed the CPS may charge Andrew with misconduct in public office for standalone offenses or both. And a source also told Sly News, "People mistakenly think we are looking at finance-based crime, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Misconduct in public office covers many things including sex offenses, fraud, corruption, perverting the course of justice and others. We have a much broader view. We are investigating all aspects and we will go where the evidence lead us. Meanwhile, the Daily Telegraph reported that as part of its investigation, Tame's Valley Police will review existing allegations of sexual misconduct.

[00:03:21]So the detectives investigating claims that Windsor passed sensitive information to Epstein and we know that that included when he was a special representative for trade and investment are now going much further and they use the line sexual or inappropriate relationships saying that is according to Crown Prosecution Service guidelines.

[00:03:51]They add that prosecutors must then prove that the alleged misconduct amounted to a willful abuse of power.

[00:03:57]Police are also understood to be considering investigating potential corruption and fraud crimes. Tames Valley Police is assessing one allegation that a woman was trafficked into Britain by Epstein in 2010 to have sex with Mr. Mountbatton Windsor at Royal Lodge in Windsor. So, you can see this is a car crash. This is a total nightmare. And even though we may not be feeling the same shock as we did when the police actually turned up to Sandrreen and arrested Andrew in February. Actually, this announcement today has shaken the royal family to its core because remember, as Tom Sykes and Andrew Looney have just admitted, this was a decision to go further and to cooperate with the police by Prince William, not King Charles.

[00:04:49]when Charles was really resisting any action against Andrew and William was really saying, you know, we have to let the police in. We have to let the police do do their worst. We have to let uh you know, we have to remove all the protection from him. We have to kick him out of the tent so that he's not part of us. And and if that means that he ends up in a court cell or a jail, you know, we'll have to see how the cards fall.

[00:05:13]People close to Charles were telling me at the time, "It's all very well to say that when you're not the king, but when you're when you're king, things look a little different." You know, I mean, is there any sense in which the king can conduct an inquiry into himself? I mean, it's do you know what I mean? It's kind of like >> the big worry, you know, this the wagons are circling to protect the king. Uh it's it's is a real problem, you know, and if people keep pressing it, you know, and I mean it's clearly a question that's been asked time and time again by when they go out and it's not being answered, you know. I I I suspect, you know, Charles gave undertakings to to his mother to take care of Andrew. I suspect there were deal was done to get Andrew out of Royal Lodge and that may have involved, you know, taking care of the daughters. Uh and there may be concerns about keeping them in the tent still rather than being a loose cannon outside. uh and you know the one way they can control both uh Andrew and Sarah Ferguson is through the future of the daughters. So there may be that maybe something in this but I think William realizes the reputational damage. Well, he does. The big problem for the king, of course, is that the courts are his courts.

[00:06:23]And as the reality of Andrew invoking his older brother in court becomes at least a closer possibility, it becomes harder to see how Charles can remain on the throne. Of course, in his TV address just last month, Charles insisted that he will not abdicate.

[00:06:43]In this I renew my own solemn pledge of duty and service to you all.

[00:06:51]>> But will it really be his choice? Now I want to be very clear. I believe in the constitutional monarchy. I believe our system will be significantly weakened if King Charles does have to leave his job because it's not a job, is it? It's an ordained role for life by God. He is head of the Church of England.

[00:07:12]So, as yet I have not called for that and I do not call for that today. But if Andrew is charged and does not plead guilty, and why would he? Because then he'd be going to jail without any doubt. I think this situation is going to become historically difficult for Charles to navigate. And that's before you get to his failing health and his general unpopularity over his links to Islam, despite the fact he did a very good job in Washington DC with President Trump during last month's state visit. Now, for a matter of history, I want to read to you now this entire unprecedented police statement which we knew about yesterday, but was somewhat bizarrely embargoed by the police until 6:00 a.m.

[00:08:02]this morning. Here we go. Tames Valley Police is continuing an investigation into misconduct in public office. On the 19th of February 2026, a man in his 60s, Andrew Mountbatton Windsor from Norfolk was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He was interviewed under caution and released under investigation on the same day. Two addresses, Embachan and Norfick, were searched.

[00:08:31]Following the arrest and search activity, we have been working with the United States Department of Justice to get further information that may be related to this investigation.

[00:08:43]That's big.

[00:08:45]We have also been working with the Crown Prosecution Service in the United Kingdom and have sought early investigative advice from them as we would in serious, complex or sensitive cases.

[00:08:58]The investigation is examining a number of aspects of alleged misconduct following the release of files under the Epstein Files Transparency Act in the United States. We are also speaking with a number of witnesses. However, as per national guidance, we cannot confirm or deny the identities of these individuals. Now, by the way, some of those individuals are believed to include the likes of former prime ministers.

[00:09:24]Tame's Valley Police Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright went on the record in this statement to say our misconduct in public office investigation is continuing. Misconduct in public office is a crime that can take different forms, making this a complex investigation. Our team of very experienced detectives are working meticulously through a significant amount of information that has come in from the public and other sources. We are committed to conducting a thorough investigation into all reasonable lines of inquiry wherever they may lead. We encourage anyone with information to get in touch with us through the normal non-urgent contact channels such as the Tempame's Valley Police online portal. I understand the high level of interest in this work, but please be patient as we continue to actively progress our investigation. We will provide further updates to the public and media when appropriate. We will continue to work with the National Police Chief's Council and other police forces to coordinate the National Policing response to the Epstein files. As part of this, Temps Valley Police is actively supporting National Policing and contacting Epstein victims and survivors. And this is highly significant.

[00:10:36]We hope that anyone with relevant information will come forward whenever they are ready to engage with us. Our door is always open. Just think about this for one moment. This is the police directly calling on Epstein victims and survivors to come forward to in help in their investigation.

[00:10:58]Not overall, as was discussed before, but specifically in regards to Andrew Mountbatton Windsor, the king's brother.

[00:11:07]We're witnessing history here. Nothing like this has ever happened before.

[00:11:12]The statement went on, "In addition to the investigation into misconduct in public office, the assessment of reports that a woman was taken to an address in Windsor in 2010 for sexual purposes is ongoing. We have engaged with the woman's legal representative to confirm that should she wish to report this to police, it will be taken seriously and handled with care, sensitivity, and respect for her privacy and her right for anonymity. We recognize how difficult it can be to speak about experiences of this nature and any contact with police will be led by her wishes when and if she feels ready and able to do so.

[00:11:52]Wow. So, let me bring in now for analysis on this major breaking news story, the former head of royal security, Dy Davies, who joins me alongside Connor Tomlinson.

[00:12:09]Davies, this is the sort of news that even just a few months ago felt impossible to believe. No one actually thought that the police die were really going to conduct the type of meaningful investigation into Andrew Mountbat in Windsor that would include these sexual allegations as well. Now confirmation that this probe has indeed widened and the neck seems to be tightening on Andrew Mountbat and Windsor. Now you have very much been behind these calls for a wider investigation.

[00:12:51]Do you feel today D like the police are doing enough?

[00:12:57]>> Well a very good afternoon to you Dan. I feel vindicated because going back six years ago I went on News Night. yesterday, >> a day or two after Andrew. And I called then for the Metropolitan Police to investigate Andrew. And I said on that program and many others following, if there was evidence properly obtained, they should go and interview him. And if the evidence pointed to an offense, that should be under caution. Here we are six years on and it's taken this length of time and the release of some of the Epstein files and let's face it a lot of it hasn't come out yet. But now at long last not the Met but Temp's Valley have included what I've been asking for along with Andrew Lowry and one or two others for the police simply to do their job and go where the evidence takes them.

[00:13:55]And again uh that should be he is not guilty until evidence shows otherwise.

[00:14:01]And I stress that but by gum there's so much evidence now it's surely right both in this country where victims are alleged to have uh been attacked by him and attack is the word I would use.

[00:14:17]Then again I would say let's find the evidence. I hope the USA are providing further evidence. They were reluctant to do so because of a spat between our government. But let's face it, for years now, people have been asking the questions and everything. Everyone in the establishment has said there's nothing to see here. This is like an octopus with tentacles. The tentacles have reached every level of the establishment. and a number I hope are quaking because they've aided and abet him I allege if the allegations are true. So I'm delighted in a professional sense. I have no feelings for Andrew one way or the other. professionally over 56 years of investigation on this earth I want it investigated properly and those including prime ministers who have aided and abetted those in the palace and whether it's the king his son or uncle Tom Cobb and all if they have evidence and they can be seen to have aided and abetted Andrew and covered up as many many surely have in terms of malfeence in public office, then I hope to goodness at long last they're going to have their collars felt.

[00:15:39]>> So D, there's a lot to pick up on there, but the first thing is how significant the cooperation is with the FBI, the US authorities.

[00:15:50]This statement seems to suggest that there is now cooperation. Was that your reading of it? But first, do you remember when energy used to feel effortless? You'd get through a workout, a long day, a bad night's sleep, and still feel sharp. But as you get older, trust me, it can start to feel like your body and brain don't have the same spark they used to. Here's the interesting part. That's not in your head. It's biology. When we're younger, our bodies naturally produce and regenerate high levels of creatine. But as we move into our 40s and beyond, that production steadily declines, and that means less readily available energy for both our muscles and our brains. That's exactly why Qualia creatine Plus was created.

[00:16:38]Here's the key thing, though. You can't just take any old creatine and assume it's doing the job. It has to actually get into your cells and then be activated so your body can use it properly. That's why Qualia Creatine Plus is different. It combines two clinically studied forms of creatine with electrolytes, all chosen to support absorption and activation. It includes easy to mix micronized creatine monohydrate in a new form called Opti Creatine, plus creatine magna power along with a precise amount of sea salt to help support uptake where it matters most. What makes this stand out is that it's not just creatine. It's the delivery system your body needs to make it work for you. We're way past the dark ages of creatine being just for gym bros. Creatine is critical for energy, metabolism, cognition, and healthy aging, not just lifting like a bodybuilder. So, go to qualia.com/dan for 50% off. And here's a bonus. Use the code Dan for an additional 15% off your order. That's Q U A L I A life.com/dan and use the code Dan. And thank you so much to Qualia for sponsoring this episode. Now back to the show.

[00:18:01]>> Well, yes, the commissioner went over a month or two. The commissioner of the meant went over asking for that. As I say, historically there's been a failure of communication um by us and again on their part because of a spat. The FBI, as you know, called for uh an investigation to take place here. They provided certain documentation and the then home secretary declined because of this so-called spat. I don't know the details of that but again successive lawyers for Virginia Guthrie asked for inquiries to be made here. Four times the Met said there's nothing to see here or we have no jurisdiction. I took exception with that under the sexual offenses act 2003 because I am told the 2015 act didn't apply which is a shame. Uh, no. But there's sufficient evidence, I say, from victims, both Virginia Guy and sadly she's dead, but other victims to allow the police to go ahead and question him.

[00:19:08]But the sexual side has been put to one side for some time. The malfecence and the abuse of his position has been looked at and is being looked at in conjunction. So again, there's so much to unravel. There are so many people as I keep saying who've covered up for him.

[00:19:27]I hope now they can be done for aiding and abetting him.

[00:19:33]>> So D it is looking increasingly unlikely, isn't it? That and of course you know we both believe an innocent until proven guilty. We both believe that there should be due process, but I think we both also believe there has been a monumental establishment cover up going on for nearly two decades on this.

[00:19:51]So that's why there's had to be this pressure. But >> you know, Andrew Looney has said for a long time he thinks that the deep state will still work in mysterious ways to ensure that Andrew evades justice.

[00:20:07]Are you so sure of that now? Because I'm looking at this and I know how these things work, D. So do you. And this is now feeling much more like the police believe that this is almost certainly going to end up in court that he will be charged.

[00:20:26]They are cooperating with the Crown Prosecution Service. Do you feel that same thing that this is now heading towards a charge?

[00:20:37]Well, I certainly feel at long last the Temps Valley Police in conjunction with other forces who've also are looking into trafficking offenses along with the National Crime Agency and along with the Council of Police Chiefs and Uncle Tom Cobbly and all. They are now in a position where they have to be seen to do the job properly. No more hiding. The question is how far will they take it and how many people will be dragged into it. That's crucial in my opinion because Andrew was just a figurehead being allowed by the establishment to abuse his position. I alleged to spend millions and millions of our money on his protection throughout this time and the spending. So there's a huge range of allegations. if it was you and I that were public servants and let's discuss that. I say he was a public servant.

[00:21:34]I've just come back from lecturing on a high-end cruise where people a lawyer was telling me I was having dinner with him. Aha, you've got to prove he was a public servant. Well, that is that definition applies on common sense. It's what you and I as reasonable people on the Clappam omnibus as used to be under Lord Denning. What did we think was reasonable? Did we think it was reasonable but his activities of spending thousands and thousands on hotels allegedly on prostitutes which I'm sure we paid for and so on so forth.

[00:22:07]So there is a huge range of activity which he should be investigating before we go to a breach of the official secrets act. The question has to be where was HMRC over this? Where was the foreign and commonwealth office? Where the were the permanent secretaries? I could go on. I think he should bring down the range of civil servants who must have known and then we can move to the palace. They knew what was going on.

[00:22:35]>> Well, this is what I wanted to ask you, D.

[00:22:38]>> This is what I wanted.

[00:22:39]>> Can I just say the every single private secretary uh to the queen must have known and somehow nobody did anything.

[00:22:49]So, they need some answering.

[00:22:52]So then we get to the king die and the king has had a very good couple of months. I don't think anyone can deny that the the the state visit to the US was a triumph. His cancer treatment has really worked. So even though the cancer is terminal, his ability to to work and to function is so much better than it was. And there is hope die that he could live for many years. But the abdication threat after the widening of this probe today has not gone away. Because how on earth can King Charles remain on the throne if Andrew is going to invoke his older brother in his potential defense?

And as a personal favor to me, please rate and review as it really helps our independent show.

[00:24:07]Well, it's very interesting as you well remember and I know of a documentary I took part in about barrel trials when he was alleged to have spoken to the queen over the safekeeping of property which was absolute nonsense as far as I was concerned. Anyway, they stopped the case and I then I argued they shouldn't have stopped the K. there was more than enough evidence if the CPS and the police had done their job properly uh to proceed um even though and you couldn't call the queen in the same way uh constitutionally you can't call the king and the only way you could possibly then do it um is as happened in Spain the king abdicated there I'm not alleging our king has behaved like the king of Spain but what I am saying there are questions to ask of him and the only way you can do it presumably is if he does abdicate. I can't see any other way really or can you can't pro prosecute the king in his own court >> unless there's a way to get sorry to finish your point.

[00:25:09]>> Yeah. The only way he arguably would give evidence or agrees to give evidence if he was no longer the king and his son was the king. But it's it's somewhere we've never been before. And the best thing >> what if Prince Andrew agreed or sorry ex Prince Andrew agreed to plead guilty.

[00:25:26]Yeah, that would be the only way that I see it. And what I also say, others could be prosecuted. A whole range of others that they could invoke while the king knew. Why are you doing me?

[00:25:38]>> Okay, D. Stand by because I want to bring Connor Tomlinson, host of Tomlinson Talks, in on this. Connor, this is becoming an increasing existential crisis for the reign of King Charles III.

[00:25:53]What's your reaction to the widening of this probe today?

[00:25:57]>> Well, D makes a good point in that this should be the first domino to fall in regards to all of the people that presumably knew about these activities if there were criminal activities going on here. So, we should be looking into police, previous royal protection, uh the foreign office and various civil servants that would have known that Andrew was engaging in in said alleged behaviors in his role as a foreign diplomat. Um, but I I must say then, and I don't want to use the word scapegoat, but I'm not sure what other word to use here, but it does feel like you had with the with the revelations from the Epstein files with the with the Peter Mandlesson scandal. Um, Mandlesson was arrested for going for a Wii outside George Osborne's house. And as of yet, we haven't had much on the state secrets that he allegedly leaked Jeffrey Epstein or, you know, anything worse. Karma still hasn't suffered consequences for ignoring the foreign office vetting to bypass to just install Peter Mandlesson as the ambassador to the United States.

[00:26:58]I mean he he made Morgan Mcweeny a sacrificial lamb. Now it feels like Andrew himself is a sacrificial lamb not just for the entire institutions that that would have known about this behavior as as Dice says but also for the rest of the Epstein class that are backstage and still embedded in our government and also the the lack of accountability for members of the Epstein class that are in the US government. I mean we've known unfortunately that there are members of the Trump administration who haven't been quite so truthful about their relations with with Jeffrey Epste. I think it was Howard Lutnik who said, "Oh, I barely even spoke to him and he he went to the island after after he was alleged to have done so and is also making quite a lot of money off of uh off of Trump administration policy. I would raise my eyebrow that." So, look, I'm I'm very happy with the investigation to be broadened out and I'm happy for anyone who did anything wrong to face consequences, but I don't have a lot of faith that they will face substantive consequences. And I do feel like every so often stories about Andrew's connections to Epstein are sort of thrown up as red meat for the public so that you don't look too closely at who else could be implicated with similar behavior that just hasn't been caught yet.

[00:28:01]>> Yeah, very good point and D obviously totally agrees with you on that. Dy, where do you see this going next?

[00:28:11]Um, I think we're going to have to wait several months now for the police inquiry if there are victims to come forward. And I watched a number on the news night program with Emily where she actually went to America and spoke to five or six in the studio and they were very convincing I have to say. One of them specifically made allegations, further allegations. the allegations that Virginia Guthrie give, I don't think they could use that anymore. Uh, but it shows a pattern of behavior and if you're investigating anyone, you look for a pattern of behavior, particularly as we now know with sexual offenses. Um, you know, so that's very important. What is important is that we find out why they decided in the Met not to investigate it. what now has made Tame's Valley uh determined there are sexual offenses, what new evidence and etc, etc. But the main thing as far as I'm concerned, not only is attacking females, but also the allegation that he gave information of a sensitive and often secret to various uh aspects. I don't find he's a scapegoat. He's merely like uh the iceberg that the the bit we can see of the corruption that's endemic in so many institutions of our country including the politicians and I'm screaming out and if this brings down a government or it brings down the civil servants or the palace at the highest level then so be it. We have to come back to ethical behavior in public life.

[00:29:51]And if the palace and the civil servants and the foreign and comworths can't demonstrate they act ethically and they allow people like Andrew and others and he's not the only one to behave like this then we need a good shakeup in this country and if this is what helps bring it about then so be it. Well, Davies, former head of royal protection, thank you so much for your work on this and of course we will be keeping in touch with you as this major royal story develops.
